For the specific case of using GNU make, I work around this problem
using

M-x compile make -C /full/path/to/build ...

This causes make to emit the info that Emacs needs to find the real
build directory.

Luckily for me I'm basically only using GNU make for builds, so I
haven't had to find tricks for other systems.
